Our friends around the world.

I never imagined what an incredible and transformational week this would be for me. It exceeded my imagination and expectations… I loved every minute of this Sicily adventure.

What an amazing holiday! Well done Laura for planning such a fabulous week and thank you Sarah for being such a super teacher! I haven’t enjoyed a holiday so much in so long.

Laura, Lizi, and al of you lovely ladies, it has been an honour to have spent this last week with you. It has exceeded all of my expectations. I was prepared for a week of yoga, some relaxing, reading a book. And I got so so so much more. This experience was much deeper and I’m so thankful for all of it. I’m leaving a lot of emotional baggage on this island and I hope Mykonos will forgive me for that! I fly home being a different person to the one that arrived here but more myself than I have been in a while. So thank you!

Our week in Mykonos with Yoga Escapes was truly wonderful. To practise yoga in front of a beautiful Greek church with a full 180 view of the sea and soft breeze in your face is one of the most idyllic things in the world. Tania was an incredible patient teacher who added to the whole 5* luxury experience, if you want to transport yourself to a relaxed yoga heaven for a week this is the place!

Yoga Escapes designs exceptional holiday experiences centred around yoga. Laura, the multi lingual founder, researches every last detail from the best corner of each 5 star hotel to practice each day to amazing eateries each evening and anything in between. Essentially you are able to completely switch off on arrival and entrust your well being is her top priority so you can just lean in….. The absence of stressful decision making is removed and replaced with carefully considered, nuanced options for you to point at and say yes please or no thank you. It is rare to find such a warm, discreet professional at the top of her game. Bravo and thank you.

Thank you for making the holiday so easy for us all, we really didn’t have to do anything but turn up at the right times – a real treat! I would love to do another yoga retreat with you later in the year.

It was wonderful to get to spend last week with all of you. Great company, gorgeous weather, fab yoga…what a great way to remind myself of how brilliant holidays are. I’ve really been missing out!

Laura you have created an experience where bonds can be formed among yogis from around the world in a peaceful, friendly, and non-judgemental environment. Your honesty and passion for your business as well as your professionalism is outstanding. But you can let your guard down, too. People come back again and again for a reason, and I know you are a large part of that. 

An amazing week in which I realised my goal of letting go of the old and embracing the new. It’s been an emotional but fabulous journey. And I made some amazing new friends along the way. I look forward to our reunion soon! Thank you all.

This was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation – all the benefits of yoga but not having to give up eating what we liked or anything else. A great way to include yoga into a relaxing vacation.

I wouldn’t change a thing… it was perfect in every way!! I cannot wait to enjoy another! SEE YOU SOON xx

I am still raving about our beautiful week in Mykonos. Fab hotel, great views, loved the rooms and sea view. The yoga was excellent and Lizi was a real inspiration. Really felt like a week of therapy and was really what I needed – would even go as far as saying quite life changing! Laura your organisation of the week was exceptional and you took us to some wonderful restaurants with amazing food. Will definitely book again for next year! Susie

I’ve been on yoga holidays before but this was the first one to strike the right balance of uplifting and restorative yoga mixed with fun evenings and plenty of time to relax. Thanks Laura and Holly for a fantastic week in Mykonos, I’ll certainly be back.

What a wonderful week we had. Laura you are the consummate professional, combining excellence and personability so effortlessly. It does not go unnoticed how much you do behind the scenes to deliver a first class experience. I feel so rested and still in touch with my inner stillness. Thank you for ‘Yoga Escapes’ and your immaculate taste. Please put me on the list for the Lanzarote yoga retreat with Tania next year! With gratitude, Rebecca x

Thank you very much Laura for the great holiday, we really enjoyed it and Sarah is a brilliant teacher. There’s nothing we’d change about the yoga retreat. We particularly enjoyed all the classes, swimming in the pool and sea, and the staff in hotel were very welcoming. Eating out as per last year was to a high standard and we enjoyed the chats and the gelato after! Again thank you and Sarah for the lovely holiday and inspiration.

I had a very stressful year and I came here for one week and it was way more than I expected, I’m now going back home totally relaxed, thank you for an amazing yoga retreat.

Sarah you are a caring and passionate yoga teacher with a great sense of humor, sharp mind and loving heart. Laura you a real director of unforgettable experiences. It was a great time also thanks to the group. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I had an amazing yoga holiday with all of you and feel relaxed and refreshed! The hotel was beautiful, the beaches gorgeous, the food was delicious. The yoga was great – I can’t believe all the poses you got me to do!

What a truly fantastic holiday, so great meeting all of you, huge thanks to Laura for your great organization and your kindness, and to Holly for your amazing yoga and beach fun. I’ll definitely keep doing yoga to be ready for next year’s trip! xoxo

What a wonderful week! As a yoga newbie I thoroughly enjoyed Lizi’s classes, the setting was stunning and the group was such good company. The day trip was so worth it, and having the benefit of your knowledge Laura and your organisation was priceless. The restaurants every night were amazing and the food was stunning. I loved the setup with yoga in the mornings and afternoons with time to chill during the day – I wouldn’t change anything. Thank you again.

I had to enter the plane horizontal, I was so laid back I couldn’t stand! I have many great memories. Laura, your work in conceiving and planning the trip was outstanding, as was your continuous presence and availability. I always felt in safe hands.

Practicing yoga outside by the sea was a special treat, everything was arranged to perfection, thank you for making me feel so good again.

Thank you again Laura for such a lovely week. It truly exceeded all my expectations! I really enjoyed the way the yoga classes were built up during the week and also just the organization of it all. Truly well executed! It really made a difference for me that everything was optional and there was a lot of free time, and that you could join the activities and plans that you wanted to. I also must say your follow-ups from the initial communication were excellent! All in all just a wonderfully organized holiday that I would highly recommend to everyone I know!

I want to be back to Greece or anywhere Yoga Escapes has a retreat! The best memories ever!

My dear Laura, I would really like to thank and appreciate you for the wonderful week in Mykonos, like I told you before leaving, there’s nothing that could have been done better. You topped my expectations and I think everyone’s in the group as well. You gave me an unforgettable week! The restaurants, hotel, club etc…. was well planned, and the yoga classes were ideal for all levels, which made it easier for some of us who were beginners. You’re an amazing woman with a brilliant business concept! I’m looking forward to the next Retreat…. Till then, Gwen

Thank you for planning such an excellent holiday. The hotel, the location, the rooms with perfect views, the yoga, the food and entertainment – everything!

Laura, you are doing more than running a business. You are creating communities of like-minded people from all over the world. We come together for a week of fun and yoga practice and emerge a bonded, loving band of friends. This is something extraordinary.

Long flight home to Singapore but calm after a most wonderful and memorable week. Thank you so much Laura, Holly, everyone and lovely to meet you all!

I had a wonderful week with all of you in Sicily. The yoga was fantastic, the food sublime and the conversations and company best of all. A truly first class retreat. Will recommend this trip to everyone I know, peace and love to all you beautiful people!

The best part of the day was our Yin yoga class at sunset. I’ve never felt so calm and grounded, my crazy hectic life back in New York seemed miles away. Thank you for a wonderful yoga retreat.

It’s been a great week with great people and I hope you can all carry a little piece of Sicilian yoga serenity into the rest of your lives… love Caroline.

Laura, the holiday was a wonderful experience for me. I was hesitant about coming alone, and I’m so happy that I did. I came home feeling completely energised and recharged from the yoga, both physically and personally. I thought it was brilliantly organised, and for me it was perfectly calibrated between being sufficiently structured and also giving me enough time away from the group. Sarah, thank you so much for your brilliant teaching during the holiday, your wit and warmth made me look forward to each lesson every day. There is a lot that I have carried with me from your teaching and guidance. I would definitely like to come again, and have been recommending it to all my friends.

I did not for a moment expect to find myself among such a warm, engaging and interesting gathering of people, it’s been a special week and I wish I could be taking you all home with me! Much love and safe travels.

As I sit on my flight waiting to take off back to Orlando, I am reflecting on what a FANTASTIC time I had! Thank you to all my fellow retreat participants for sharing this journey with me. Safe travels, peace and love to you all! Until next time.

A BIG thank you for reintroducing me back into yoga. Sarah what an amazing teacher you are. I’ll never be able to say “slowly” and “exhale” again without hearing your voice. From the one that wasn’t going to do much yoga!

Really fab holiday, the best company and just the tastiest food. I feel we couldn’t have had a better group and teacher, how lucky were we!!

The yoga, the dinners, the hotel, the group were all perfection! I thank you with all the love in my heart. To the group – you all are so unique and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to spend a week in paradise with all of you.

Excellent yoga classes and a fun holiday with a great group of people. Beautiful location, perfect organization, relaxing days at the beach and delicious food. I want to go back!

Thank you once again for a perfect holiday, I felt totally looked after, which is what I wanted from the holiday – nothing for me to organise, think about or worry about.

Wonderful yoga, gorgeous hotel, great company, hope to meet again on another of Laura’s super retreats!

It’s been an amazing week in so many ways – thanks to all you folks for making it so very special – take good care!

Laura thank you for your excellent organisation of this wonderful holiday, your great company and always going that little bit extra to make it special for everyone, Sarah you are an amazing teacher with a beautiful spirit, thank you for the wonderful yoga and introducing me to yin practice.

A great holiday – yoga, hotel, setting were all excellent, but most important in making this special were Laura and Holly. Laura planned everything with a personal touch and made everyone feel thoroughly relaxed.

I’m back in Canada and learning to live without our daily prosecco, pastries, gelato and delicious pasta and pizza. What a wonderful week, I miss our yoga classes, I need Sarah to remind me to enjoy the moment and dab me with lavender!

I enjoyed every minute of this week with all of you in Sicily and I miss you all! I look forward to our next retreat next year in Greece!

Great holiday with a fantastic group of people, thanks to everyone for making it such an enjoyable holiday, I’m off to my local studio tomorrow to investigate classes!

I was a little hesitant to go on my own but it was so nice to meet people from all over the world with so many different backgrounds and reasons for coming.

A real luxury and exactly what I needed right now in my life, I feel like I’ve had a week-long full body yoga massage! This is a yoga retreat with a difference, what a fantastic experience.

Arrived home safely. Thank you Laura for being the perfect host, and to Holly for making me love yoga all the more. And to all you beautiful yogis for your shared energy and stories. Love

What a wonderful collection of people coming together, it was the perfect mix of personalities and energy that made it so perfect. I feel blessed to have met each and everyone of you and hope our paths cross again at another of Laura’s yoga retreats. xo

We were led by a fantastic gracious yoga teacher – Holly. We left all our worries behind in the very capable hands of our worldly knowledgeable Caprice dancing captain – Laura – who made everything appear so seamless. This is not an easy task!

We were privileged to have Holly as our yoga teacher – she made it challenging but was tuned into each individual, she has a lovely manner and a good balance of learning, focus and fun.

I had a fantastic time in Sicily, it was way beyond expectations and I can’t thank Laura and Sarah enough. The group was great fun, I particularly enjoyed our evenings out in Ortigia!

I had a fantastic time, thank you so much for such a wonderful birthday breakfast and dinner. The perfect location & great company. Big hugs and kisses. Sharon xx

I feel energized and ready to face the autumn and winter! Thank you so much Laura and Holly for all your effort and kindness, and to the rest of the gang for making it such a fun trip! Namaste!

This holiday was a great experience and treat for my big birthday, the small group made it even more special, you were able to get to know each other easily.

Kalimera from Zürich… missing our yoga and view near the church. Thanks Laura for all the lovely evenings you organized! Thanks Holly for all the great yoga lessons and your “mindful” readings. Hope to see all of you next year! Stay strong and take care.

I must say that it was a great yoga holiday. You people were all great, and I felt I have known you for years. Holly, you are a wonderful teacher, you managed to give us the confidence to do all the hard poses!

It was such a special experience to practice yoga on our terrace by the sea. Being back in the city with the noise of cars, telephone calls, client requests, I can breathe and remember this beauty and peaceful view.

A big thank you for planning the yoga retreat so brilliantly. It was like arriving with a ready made group of friends, all such lovely people and a real fun way to start our holiday.

I miss the group a lot, can’t wait to attend another retreat. I’ll see all those who are up for drinks in London in July. Keep dancing!!

I was so looking forward to our week in Mykonos and I wasn’t disappointed. A beautiful location, stunning views, lovely hotel, good company, and really enjoyed the yoga.
